No!

Scene 02
Dana Scully
Hello?
Fox Mulder
Scully.
Dana Scully
Mulder, what time is it?
Fox Mulder
I don't know.
Dana Scully
It's almost 5:00 a.m. Is something wrong?
Fox Mulder
I think so.
Dana Scully
Where are you?
Fox Mulder
I think I'm in a motel room in Providence, but--
Dana Scully
Where?
Fox Mulder
Rhode Island.
Dana Scully
What are you doing there?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. There's-- there's blood all over me.
Dana Scully
Are you hurt, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I don't think so. I don't think it's my blood.
Scene 03
PROVIDENCE, RI
Dana Scully
Mulder? Mulder?
[ water running ]
Dana Scully
Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Yeah?
Dana Scully
You okay?
Fox Mulder
I can't get warm.
Dana Scully
You're in shock. Dry yourself off. I'll get you a blanket. Do you feel sick? Nah. Nauseous or dizzy?
Fox Mulder
No, but I woke up on the floor with a pounding headache.
Dana Scully
Were you here alone?
Fox Mulder
I think so. I don't know. I don't remember... Anything.
Dana Scully
Track my finger. Do you know what day it is?
Fox Mulder
Uh--
[ exhales deeply ]
Fox Mulder
No, what day is it?
Dana Scully
It's sunday. What's the last thing that you remember?
Fox Mulder
I was in my apartment. I talked to you on the phone.
Dana Scully
That was friday.
Fox Mulder
I've been here since friday?
Dana Scully
I don't know, but you packed a bag. There's a change of clothes in there.
[ shivers ]
Dana Scully
Do you feel any pain? Did you receive a blow to your head?
Fox Mulder
No. No.
Dana Scully
Did you take anything, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
No. No.
Dana Scully
Are you sure you didn't cut yourself?
Fox Mulder
Yeah.
Dana Scully
Where's your weapon?
Fox Mulder
I don't know.
Dana Scully
Two rounds have been fired.
Fox Mulder
I don't remember that.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I need to get you to a hospital. You have to be examined by a neurologist. You have had a serious cerebral event. It could be a viral infection or possibly the early stages of encephalitis.
Fox Mulder
If there was a crime committed, I need to know what happened.
Dana Scully
Mulder, the first thing that you need to do is to take care of yourself. Mulder, listen to me. We are going to figure this out, but first we have to determine the cause. You cannot take something like this lightly. If this is an aneurysm, it could drop you in a second.
Fox Mulder
Are these your keys?
Dana Scully
No. You checked in alone around noon on saturday. The manager's got no record of any phone calls made from the room. No visitors.
Fox Mulder
Then how did I get here?
Dana Scully
You drove. He's got a license number of a car registered. Do you have those keys you found in your room?
Fox Mulder
That's not my car.
Dana Scully
There's blood on the steering wheel, Mulder. The car is registered under a David Cassandra. The address is right here in Providence.
Fox Mulder
Who's Amy?
Dana Scully
That's what I'm gonna find out, Mulder, but first I'm gonna check you out... Because you have no business even walking around here.
Fox Mulder
No. If I've shot someone, if my weapon's been used in a crime, I need to know.
Dana Scully
You are taking a big risk. I feel strongly about this.
Fox Mulder
I know you do, but it's my risk.
Scene 04
CASSANDRA RESIDENCE
Housekeeper
Can I help you?
Fox Mulder
Are you Amy?
Housekeeper
No, she's not here right now.
Dana Scully
Is this David Cassandra's house?
Housekeeper
This is David and Amy's house.
Fox Mulder
And who are you?
Housekeeper
I'm the housekeeper. Who are you?
Dana Scully
We're with the FBI
Housekeeper
Why do you have Amy's keys? Is something the matter?
Dana Scully
Possibly. Is Amy or David reachable?
Housekeeper
They're out right now. I don't know where they are.
Fox Mulder
That painting behind you-- do you think I could take a look at it?
Housekeeper
Yeah.
Fox Mulder
Who painted this?
Housekeeper
Amy.
Dana Scully
Mulder, what's up?
Fox Mulder
I know this house.
Dana Scully
How?
Fox Mulder
I've seen it before. Does this house have any special meaning to Amy or David?
Housekeeper
It's her favorite subject. It's the house she grew up in. Actually, it's all she paints.
Fox Mulder
I've been to that house.
Dana Scully
When?
Fox Mulder
I don't know, but I've been there.
Dana Scully
Do you know anything else about this house?
Housekeeper
It's out in Chepachet.
Dana Scully
Where's that?
Fox Mulder
It's about 20 Miles from here on route 8. My parents had a summerhouse out there when I was a kid.
Dana Scully
If you've been here, Mulder, I don't think it was recently. The place looks abandoned and completely overgrown. [ gasps ] Mulder? Mulder? Can you hear me? Mulder? Mulder? Mulder? Mulder? Mulder? [ groaning ]

You're a little spy.
Fox Mulder
No! No!
Scene 06
Scene 06
Dana Scully
Mulder? Mulder, can you hear me? What happened?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. It just hit me.
Dana Scully
You fell to your knees and you grabbed your head like you were in terrible pain. You were completely nonresponsive. Do you remember any of that?
Fox Mulder
No. I remember what I saw.
Dana Scully
What do you mean?
Fox Mulder
I had a very vivid flashback to my childhood, except I was there.
Dana Scully
Do you remember anything else?
Fox Mulder
No, just that it was very real.
Dana Scully
Your heart is racing.
Fox Mulder
What do you think it was?
Dana Scully
It was some kind of seizure, some kind of acute physiological disturbance. I couldn't tell if you lost consciousness, but it was definitely some kind of clonic event. Kind of an electrical storm in the brain.
Fox Mulder
Brought on by what?
Dana Scully
That's what a specialist is gonna have to tell you.
Fox Mulder
I feel really good right now.
Dana Scully
Mulder, you are not really good.
Fox Mulder
I think I've been here before.
Dana Scully
In your childhood?
Fox Mulder
Maybe.
Dana Scully
I don't think anybody's lived here in a long time.
Fox Mulder
I'm gonna check upstairs.
Dana Scully
Mulder. There's a gunshot wound to her heart. This must be Amy Cassandra... And her husband. They'd like to ask you some questions. I told them about your condition. You don't have to speak to them.
Fox Mulder
You mean not without my attorney present?
Dana Scully
Mulder, I refuse to believe you had any part in this.
Fox Mulder
I had those people's blood on my shirt, Scully. I was missing for two days. I have no recollection of my actions during those two days. There were two rounds discharged from my gun. I had the keys to this house, the keys to their car. Do the words "orenthal james simpson" mean anything to you?
Curtis
How you feeling, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I'm a little confused.
Curtis
Your partner here says you're suffering from some kind of a seizure, that you had one right here in the yard. What brought you to this house, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. I think I may have come here as a kid.
Curtis
You think?
Fox Mulder
My parents had a summerhouse in Quonochontaug, so--
Curtis
But you don't know anything about David or Amy Cassandra, the victims?
Fox Mulder
I don't ever remember meeting them, no.
Curtis
So you're saying the first time you saw them... Is when you walked into this house, using their keys and you found them on the floor?
Fox Mulder
That's what I'm saying.
Curtis
We got plenty of prints in that house, some with blood on them. We're gonna run those prints, agent Mulder. Is that the story you want to stick with?
Fox Mulder
For now.
Curtis
Would you like to come down to the station and elaborate on that statement?
Dana Scully
Agent Mulder's not going anywhere but to a hospital.
Curtis
Okay... But we're all going down there together. Agent Mulder, I'd like you to ride with us.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I'd advise you not to say anything more, not until I take a look at those bodies and the forensics reports.
Scene 07
Scene 07
Medical Examiner
Amy anne Cassandra, caucasian female. Birth records indicate her age at 62 years. The subject is 165 pounds, 67 inches in height. Preliminary exam indicates cause of death due to a gunshot wound to the chest. Powder burns and flashing at the point of entry... Approximately four inches below the clavicle, indicating the shot was delivered at point-blank range. Dorsal beveling of the shoulder blade is visible at the exit wound. The surrounding tissue is jagged and torn. There are no other signs of trauma present.
Dana Scully
Did you see this?
Medical Examiner
Yeah, from the scabbing, it looks like a preexisting, superficial puncture wound.
Dana Scully
Do you mind?
Medical Examiner
What are you looking for?
Dana Scully
I'm not sure. Do you have a magnifying glass? Thanks. I want to make sure that in addition to the autopsy, you also do a craniotomy and a histological examination.
Medical Examiner
I think it's clear what killed these people.
Dana Scully
I think it is too, but what I'm more interested in right now is why they died.
[ door opens ]
Scene 08
Scene 08
Fox Mulder
What's that?
Curtis
Have you jogged your memory at all, agent Mulder? You want to change your story?
Fox Mulder
No. Why?
Curtis
Because I have evidence here that contradicts what it is you've told us.
Fox Mulder
I haven't really told you anything.
Curtis
You told us you haven't been to that house since your childhood... And that you didn't know Amy or David Cassandra.
Fox Mulder
And you're telling me that what's in that bag is evidence that I'm a liar?
Curtis
I'm not saying you're a liar, agent Mulder. I would like to believe this memory lapse was real... And you murdered these two people in some fit of blind insanity.
Fox Mulder
What's in the bag?
Curtis
It isn't your gun, which in our preliminary forensics analysis seems to be the murder weapon, judging from the slugs we pulled from the floor and the wall... And the execution-style point-blank range. Is any of this coming back to you, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
No. Can I see what's in the bag?
Curtis
Be my guest. There are two blood types on that shirt, agent Mulder: one matching Amy Cassandra's, the other matching David Cassandra's. Is that your shirt, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Yes.
Curtis
Can you explain how the blood of two people you claim not to know got onto your shirt?
Fox Mulder
No. What about the prints in the house? Were they my prints? You're not gonna get a confession out of me... Because I can't answer your questions because I don't remember.
Curtis
You have the right to remain silent. You give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak with an attorney... And have an attorney present during questioning. If you so desire and cannot afford one, an attorney will be appointed for you without charge before questioning. Do you understand each of the rights I have explained to you?
Scene 09
Scene 09
Dana Scully
Mulder... I'm gonna get you out of here.
Fox Mulder
You're a doctor, not a lawyer, Scully.
Dana Scully
Did you make a confession?
Fox Mulder
No, only to my own ignorance.
Dana Scully
Detective Curtis, before you go through all that trouble, I need you to consider evidence... That I think casts doubt on agent Mulder's involvement in this crime.
Curtis
What kind of evidence?
Dana Scully
Medical evidence. The toxicology report on Amy Cassandra indicates... There was a rapid-acting anesthetic called ketamine in her system.
Fox Mulder
"ketamine"? That's a veterinary drug, isn't it?
Dana Scully
Typically, but when ingested by a person it can cause hallucinations.
Curtis
So?
Dana Scully
So I went to the hospital... To go over agent Mulder's medical charts and blood work, and there are traces of the same drug in his system.
Fox Mulder
How would that get there?
Dana Scully
Probably injected. There was a small bruise from an injection on Amy Cassandra's right hip. I think if you were examined again, we would find a corresponding puncture.
Curtis
Given by whom?
Dana Scully
I don't know, but the presence of such a powerful drug... Could explain his memory loss or the blackouts.
Curtis
Given the weight of all the other evidence, I think that's all it explains.
Fox Mulder
Scully... You don't have to do this.
Dana Scully
Mulder, you have to help me out. There is nothing here that points directly to your guilt. Unless somebody can show me, with absolute certainty, that you were holding the weapon that killed those two people, the rest of the narrative is far too convenient and suspect. The drug in your system already suggests other explanations.
Fox Mulder
That I was partying with a few senior citizens?
Dana Scully
You're jailing an innocent man.
Curtis
Yeah, well, this way he won't get lost for two days... And do something else he won't remember.
[ gunshot ]
Man
Shot fired!
Dana Scully
I'm a doctor! Somebody call the paramedics! He's dead. I need to speak with detective Curtis right now. Did this officer have a history of depression or mental illness?
Curtis
He'd been remanded from his beat assignment to a desk job a year ago. His former partner had complained on a number of occasions... About his tendency toward extreme irritability... And confabulation of the truth.
Dana Scully
How do you mean?
Curtis
The man we're talking about had become... Something of a joke on the force. One of those guys who believes in... Extraterrestrials, stuff like that.
Dana Scully
Do you see these photos?
Curtis
Yeah.
Dana Scully
Does this mean anything to you?
Curtis
Should it?
Dana Scully
I think it speaks to a pronounced mental illness. The compulsive and repetitive act... Of removing his own image from these photos leads me to believe... That he not only believed these stories, but he was traumatized by them.
Curtis
I thought you told me this was gonna help explain something about your partner's crime. What's that?
Dana Scully
Amy Cassandra. Both your officer and Amy Cassandra... Had identical puncture wounds at the top of the frontal lobe. In her autopsy, Amy Cassandra's was a deep puncture... Through the cranium to the dura mater.
Curtis
My officer had the same thing?
Dana Scully
Yes. I think your officer knew of Amy Cassandra, and somehow his suicide is linked to her death, which leads me to believe that what we're dealing with here is not murder. It's something else. It's possibly even a suicide pact.
Curtis
You're gonna have to prove that to me.
[ groaning ]

Scene 12
Scene 12
Curtis
According to the corrections officer, agent Mulder kept everybody awake last night. He's demanding to talk to you. He finally shut up about an hour ago.
Dana Scully
Did he say about what?
Curtis
I think your partner's memories are coming back to him.
Dana Scully
I need to talk to him alone if you don't mind. I heard you didn't get much sleep.
Fox Mulder
I didn't kill those people. Scully.
Dana Scully
I know that. And I think I've gathered enough evidence of your innocence to get you out of here.
Fox Mulder
From where?
Dana Scully
The forensics reports. The shirt you were wearing did have the victims' blood on it, but the blood splatter pattern doesn't match the point-of-entry detail. In fact, detective Curtis and his team... Have been able to put together enough contradictory evidence... To make a statement to the press... Saying the cassandras' death was as a result of a murder-suicide.
Fox Mulder
But I was there.
Dana Scully
Yes.
Fox Mulder
And I still don't remember why.
Dana Scully
I think I have an idea about that too. Amy Cassandra believed she was an alien abductee.
Fox Mulder
And I contacted her?
Dana Scully
Yes. Apparently. According to an article I read on Amy, she had begun psychiatric treatment that was effectively recovering her past. The repetitive behavior exhibited in those paintings that we saw... Was an expression of that treatment.
Fox Mulder
But why shoot herself and her husband?
Dana Scully
I can't say definitively, but judging from an almost identical suicide... Of a police officer who was receiving the same psychiatric care, I believe the victims were suffering from something called waxman-geshwin syndrome. The symptoms of which are trance-like states... Leading to vivid dreams about the past; dreams that are more detailed than the conscious mind can recall. It's also called dostoyevsky's syndrome... Because the Russian novelist was suffering from it too.
Fox Mulder
What was I doing there and why didn't I do anything to stop it?
Dana Scully
I can't explain that. I've arranged for your arraignment in one hour. I think that by then detective Curtis and I will have gathered... Enough forensics data that you'll be released.
Fox Mulder
I still need to know why though.
Scene 13
WARWICK, RI
Dana Scully
This is the office of the psychologist that treated Amy Cassandra. Have you been here before?
Fox Mulder
I don't know, but we found my car.
Dana Scully
It's been here a few days.
Fox Mulder
What was the name of that psychologist?
[ knocking ]
Dr. Goldstein
Hello.
Fox Mulder
Dr. Goldstein? My name is Fox Mulder. Have we met?
Dr. Goldstein
I don't believe so. My receptionist says you're from the FBI?
Dana Scully
Yes, we're investigating the deaths of Amy and David Cassandra. We understand that Amy was a patient of yours?
Dr. Goldstein
Yes. Please, sit down. I was very upset to learn about Amy. She was a troubled woman who'd struggled through... An unfortunate period of darkness in her life.
Dana Scully
Are you referring to her belief that she was an abductee?
Dr. Goldstein
This term "alien abductee"-- although I recognize there is an associated syndrome... And a rather remarkable collection of shared experiences... For those who believe in the phenomena, my treat of Amy was simply an aggressive method... To access buried or repressed memories.
Fox Mulder
How do you mean "aggressive"?
Dr. Goldstein
I use a method of therapy that simulates an electrical impulse in the brain... Using light and sound.
Dana Scully
Did you also use this treatment on a police officer named michael Fazekus?
Dr. Goldstein
Yes. Why?
Dana Scully
Mr. Fazekus shot himself in the head last night.
Dr. Goldstein
Oh, my God.
Fox Mulder
Is this an accepted form of medical treatment?
Dr. Goldstein
It's unconventional, but it's not invasive.
Dana Scully
Are you familiar with waxman-geshwin syndrome, dr. Goldstein?
Dr. Goldstein
Yes.
Dana Scully
Did you know Amy Cassandra suffered from it?
Dr. Goldstein
Waxman-geshwin, if you know anything about it, is not necessarily a destructive condition. In fact, Amy, after undergoing treatment, experienced periods of extreme happiness and creativity.
Fox Mulder
But you had no idea, you had no indication she might have taken her own life?
Dr. Goldstein
No! Of course not. I have been in practice for over 40 years. I have a very good ethical and professional reputation... If you'd care to check.
Fox Mulder
That won't be necessary.
Dana Scully
I know what you do.
[ closes door ]
Fox Mulder
I have been here before, Scully. I met dr. Goldstein with Amy Cassandra.
Dana Scully
This man is lying about more than that. I think that he administered the ketamine to Amy and to you. I think that you were treated by him and that your blackouts, these seizures, are a result.
Fox Mulder
I think you're right.
Dana Scully
Why would you do that, Mulder? Why would you undergo something as crazy and dangerous as this? [ groaning ] Mulder? Mulder?
[ echoing ]
Dana Scully
Mulder? Mulder?

Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I'm fine.
Dana Scully
No, I am not going to take that for an answer. You do not belong at work. You need to be somewhere where you can be monitored. You are a danger to yourself and a danger to me. Are you hearing me?
Fox Mulder
Give me the car keys.
Dana Scully
No, you're not driving. You're not doing anything until these symptoms go away.
Fox Mulder
Scully, I don't want these symptoms to go away. Whatever's happening to me, whatever treatment I've received... Is allowing me to go back into my unconscious. The truth is in there, recorded, and I've gotten access to it. What happened to my sister, the reason she was taken, it's beginning to become clear to me and I need to know that. Now give me the car keys.
Dana Scully
To go where?
Fox Mulder
To my mother's in greenwich.
Dana Scully
Okay... But I'm driving.
Scene 16
Scene 16
Teena Mulder
Fox.
Fox Mulder
I need to speak to you.
Teena Mulder
What's happened, Fox? Why have you come here?
Fox Mulder
You've kept things from me. You've kept secrets from me.
Teena Mulder
What's the matter with him?
Dana Scully
He's undergone a treatment. He believes it's helped him to remember things.
Teena Mulder
Remember what?
Fox Mulder
You told me that when they took Samantha, it was because you had to make a choice. But that's not how it happened. It wasn't your choice to make.
Teena Mulder
What do you want to hear from me?
Fox Mulder
I want to know what happened that night on Quonochontaug, and I need to speak to you privately. You had some kind of relationship with him.
Teena Mulder
Who?
Fox Mulder
You know who. The man who worked with my father. The man who came to you that night when I was 12, and forced you to choose Samantha.
Teena Mulder
No, Fox--
Fox Mulder
Yes! You betrayed my father, your husband.
Teena Mulder
Never.
Fox Mulder
How far back did it go?
Teena Mulder
How dare you! How dare you come here and accuse me.
Fox Mulder
Who is my father?
Teena Mulder
What do you want, to kill him again?
Fox Mulder
Just answer the question, mom. Just answer the question!
Teena Mulder
I am your mother, and I will not tolerate any more of your questions! You're bleeding, Fox.

9:25 PM
Fox Mulder
What did you do to me?
Dr. Goldstein
I told you--
Fox Mulder
You treated me. I asked you to treat me to recover my past.
Dr. Goldstein
I did nothing wrong.
Fox Mulder
You put a hole in my head.
Dr. Goldstein
A slight electrical stimulation.
Fox Mulder
You triggered my memory.
Dr. Goldstein
Yes, as you had hoped.
Fox Mulder
Now I want you to finish the job. Let's do it. I want to remember.

Where's Mulder?
Curtis
He's not here.
Dana Scully
Did you ask dr. Goldstein?
Curtis
Goldstein wouldn't say one way or the other.
Dana Scully
Stop that car! Hey! Hold it, dan!
Curtis
Hold up!
Dana Scully
Open the back door. What did you do to him? I know he came back here. This is the only place he would have gone. Did you treat him? Damn it! Answer me!
Dr. Goldstein
Yes.
Dana Scully
Where is he now?
Dr. Goldstein
I don't know where he went.
Dana Scully
What was the last thing he said to you?
Dr. Goldstein
He said he was going to exorcise his demons.

Agent Scully?
Dana Scully
Yeah.
Frank Imhof
Frank Imhop. Hi.
Dana Scully
Is he in there?
Frank Imhof
Saw the light go on a couple minutes ago. Gotta be somebody in there. We got here as soon as you called.
Dana Scully
All right. That man in there is armed. He is a federal officer in dire need of medical attention. He is not himself. Now I'm going in there. If at any time he should flee that house, you need to tell your officers not to shoot. Mulder?

Are you gonna shoot me? Is that how much this means to you? Mulder, listen to me. You have been given a powerful hallucinogen. You don't know that these memories are yours. This is not the way to the truth, Mulder. You've got to trust me.
Fox Mulder
Shut up!
Dana Scully
Put down the gun. Let it go.
Frank Imhof
[ gunshots ] we've got shots fired! Move!
[ gunshots continue ]
Dana Scully
Although cleared of any wrongdoing... In the deaths of Amy and David Cassandra, agent Mulder still has no recollection of the events that led to their deaths.
[ typing ]
Dana Scully
His seizures have subsided with no evidence of permanent cerebral damage, but I'm concerned that this experience will have a lasting effect.
[ continues typing ]
Dana Scully
Agent Mulder undertook this treatment hoping to lay claim to his past; that by retrieving memories lost to him, he might finally understand the path he's on. But if that knowledge remains elusive, and if it's only by knowing where he's been that he can hope to understand where he's going, then I fear agent Mulder may lose his course... And the truths he's seeking from his childhood will continue to evade him, driving him more dangerously forward in impossible pursuit.
